Dogs in Disguise by Peter Bently, illustrated by John Bond

Perfect for any dog-obsessed small person, Dogs in Disguise is a colourful, humourous rhyming story.

Who doesn’t want to read a book that manages to find rhymes for schnauzers and shih-tzus?!

I love the idea that dogs are off disguising themselves to move unseen among the human population, trying their hand at hairdressing or getting past those pesky ‘No Dogs Allowed’ signs for a taste of fine dining or trips to the zoo. And, of course, when lots of dogs are around being a tree is the worst disguise of all…

Her first YA novel The Truth About Lies is a thriller set on Dartmoor about a girl who remembers everything. Described by the Guardian as “thought-provoking and crisply written…an assured and charismatic debut”, The Truth About Lies was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2019. Tracy won the YA Short Story Prize run by Stripes and the Bookseller and was published in I’ll Be Home for Christmas. Her short story became the basis of her YA novel, The Rules, published in 2020, about a girl on the run from her prepper dad. Described by the FT as a “heart-thuddingly nervy thriller” , and The Irish Times said: "this tense, taut novel is chillingly believable".
